The course of Electroacoustics is aimed at introducing the main concepts of audio electronics, focusing the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the treatment of audio signals with analog and digital equipment.
Topics covered during the course of Electroacoustics lay the groundwork for the analysis and understanding of transducers and audio devices.
